live at the pentagon. this test is wore i sor woresom. >> one of the biggest problems right now is whether or not north korea really has achieved a miniaturized bomb. they say they set off a smaller, more lethal explosive, if you will. miniaturization is key. that means they could possibly put a small war head on a missile sooner than expected and deliver it to a target. now the cia, pentagon, all has to look at this to determine what they set off and essentially now work backward. if it was a miniaturized bomb, what did it take north korea to get there? where did they get the technology, the engineering, the expertise, the money to do it? they will look at what it would have taken north korea to achieve what they say they achieved and try to figure out how they did it and who might have helped them. zoraida. >> has theyou say there. there has been a lot of skepticism in where this program is right now. >> the u.s. has been skeptical for years. in december, they successfully launched a long-range ballistic

we look forward to see what the pentagon has to say. john. >> as you pointed out again and again, the u.s. has not commented to us about the authenticity of the videos. they could be fake. but if they are real, what does it say about the sophistication of the iranian intelligence system? >> reporter: it's too early to make that kind of assessment, john, because it's too early to figure out exactly what iranian officials have extracted from this drone. this is obviously a high-tech machine, stealth technology. you can be sure iran is trying to clone it, but we don't know if they have done that yet. it looks like they have managed to decode the video. one thing you can be sure they'll do is they'll use this in the information war against the u.s. they will bolster their position that the u.s. is a bully in the region, meddling in sovereign affairs of other countries with drones and it's going to be part of the information war that these two countries have been locked in for a long time, john. >> thanks, reza. >> there's going to be a lot

chris lawrence joins us from the pentagon with that. so, chris, what do you know right now about his military background? >> well, erin, he's an officer. navy lieutenant in the naval reserve, who was just honorably discharged, just a couple weeks ago. you know, in his manifesto, he wrote the u.s. navy didn't instill the values of honor, courage, and commitment in me, but i thank them for sort of reemphasizing it in me. basically, he served in what was called a riverine unit. it's a small water, they work close to shore, ports, things like that, doing security. in fact, he deployed overseas to do security on an oil platform. so sort of different than what we think of as traditional navy. and right now, ncis, the naval criminal investigative service, is sharing a lot of that information with the local authorities there in l.a.. >> and chris, i'm curious, because back to this manifesto, this 11,000-word manifesto that he wrote, he wrote about his markenmanship and he said, i have always been the top shot, highest score, expert in rifle qua
